Abstract
A method for transmitting electric power and signals between a wall and a leaf pivotally mounted on the wall includes transmitting the electric power so as to be galvanically isolated, and transmitting the signals optically or optoelectronically.
Claims14
1-12. (canceled)
13:
- A method for transmitting electric power and signals between a wall and a leaf pivotally mounted on the wall, the method comprising:
- transmitting the electric power so as to be galvanically isolated;
- and
- transmitting the signals optically or optoelectronically.
1 more element
14:
- The method as recited in claim 13, wherein the transmission of the electric power so as to be galvanically isolated is performed as an inductive transmission.
15:
- The method as recited in claim 13, wherein,
- the transmitting of the electric power so as to be galvanically isolated is from a primary side to a secondary side, and
- the transmitting of the signals optically or optoelectronically is from the secondary side to the primary side.
16:
- The method as recited in claim 15, wherein the primary side is a side of the wall and the secondary side is a side of the leaf.
17:
- The method as recited in claim 15, wherein the transmission of the electric power so as to be galvanically isolated is performed as an inductive transmission,
- the method further comprising:
- providing a direct current voltage on the primary side;
- and
- converting the direct current voltage into an alternating current voltage for the inductive transmission.
2 more elements
18:
- The method as recited in claim 17, wherein the alternating current voltage has a frequency of between 10 and 300 kHz.
19:
- The method as recited in one of claim 15, further comprising:
- controlling the electric power on the primary side with the signals.
20:
- The method as recited in one of claim 15, further comprising:
- using the signals to transmit at least one of an operational status and a signal status from at least one of a secondary sensor, a detector and a detector group to an alarm system arranged on the primary side.
21:
- A device for transmitting electric power and signals between a wall and a leaf pivotally mounted about a hinge axis on the wall, the device comprising:
- a power transmission apparatus configured to transmit electric power so as to be galvanically isolated;
- and
- a signal transmission apparatus configured to transmit at least one of an optical signal and an optoelectronic signal.
1 more element
22:
- The device as recited in claim 21, wherein the power transmission apparatus comprises a primary coil assembly and a secondary coil assembly.
23:
- The device as recited in claim 22, wherein the primary coil assembly, the secondary coil assembly, and the signal transmission apparatus each comprise a respective central axis which are respectively disposed so as to substantially coincide with the hinge axis.
24:
- The device as recited in claim 21, wherein the signal transmission apparatus comprises a light emitting diode and a photodiode or a phototransistor.
25:
- The device as recited in claim 21, further comprising:
- a first power transmission apparatus configured to provide a need-based electric power for a consumer on the leaf;
- a first signal transmission apparatus configured to control the electric power provided by the first power transmission apparatus for the consumer;
- a second power transmission apparatus configured to provide a power required to operate at least one of a sensor, a detector, and a detector group;
- and
- a second signal transmission apparatus configured to transmit at least one of an operational status and a signal status from a secondary side sensor, a secondary detector and a secondary detector group to a primary side alarm system.
